The overall initiative was categorised into 5 Smart City themes to link smart city with resiliency

The implementation of LCC is an intricate process that entails governance, planning mechanisms, monitoring and evaluation, financing, as well as context and process. Petaling Jaya (PJ) is one of the pilot studies of LCCF that have implemented many planning mechanisms as strategic tools to enhance both the planning and deployment of LCC programmes. Based on the analysis of initiatives, strategies, and characteristics occurrence, several characteristics seemed to stand out, such as the following:

Diversity is the key characteristic that represents variety, multiplicity, and mixture that require PJ to energise its economy and urban activities, engage its residents, enhance its built environment, and promote green programmes. It implies the extent numerous distinct functions can be concurrently applied within the system. This principle is aimed at hedging against disruption in supply, ascertaining the availability of multiple options (e.g., resources & instruments) to overcome drawbacks, and acknowledging the functionality of the urban system.

Diverse support mechanisms and livelihood opportunities enable residents to respond proactively to the changing city conditions without compromising their quality of life. Accessibility to business support, finance, and training of skills leaves one with multiple options in securing the necessary assets for meeting the fundamental demands. Secure and long-term livelihoods enable individuals to accumulate savings so as to support them during crises. The dynamic PJCC has an advantage over diversity in terms of ethnicity and group diversity, thus enhancing economic growth, as well as communal and cultural activities. Petaling Jaya (PJ) enjoys inclusive labour policies and relevant skills for emerging employment with high residing population due its close location to Kuala Lumpur and foreign residents that create cultural diversity, thus generating high demand and expectations for diverse services.

The MSMA 2nd Edition—Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia—guides designers, regulators, and planners for managing storm water (Dept. of Irrigation and Drainage 2012; Nor Azazi Zakaria 2014). It is vital to ensure the consistency of planning, designing, and maintaining storm water management system across local, state, and federal authorities; landscape architecture; as well as environmental, urban development, and environmental engineers.

Resourcefulness refers to resources used by urban planners to determine, prepare for, respond, and recover from any disruption, if any. This is inclusive of a viable capacity to comprehend the status quo, apart from identifying contingencies, patterns, and lurking threats.

For instance, the residents in SS20 located in PJ have adopted modern machinery after years of practising conventional food composting procedure. They successfully began with the single-stream waste-recycling technique, followed by conventional composting method at their home and at the community park. To date, compost derived from modern technique is applied as fertilisers in their gardens for growing plants and vegetables. One benefit noted from this composting activity is reduction in leachate from garbage compactors. Worth RM30, 000; the 30-L composting machine was purchased using funds pooled by the residents, PJCC awards, as well as funding received from councillors, government, and assemblyman. Food waste collected by the residents was processed in the machine thrice a week.
